POEM NAME: “A SINDHI WOMAN”

POET NAME: “JAN STALLWORTHY”

A poor woman crosses the Karachi slums. She has no shoes. She carries a jar of water on her head. Bur she walks smoothly. A veil covers her face. She has a strong body and a strong back. The poet’s back is bent. He learns from this experience that hardships make us stronger “Comfort calm our ambition.” They slam the door of progress on us. Those who learn to work hard enjoy good health. And health is a manifold blessing. Poor hard workers are the real rich people of the world.
